Good afternoon to all! Questions for Ontario riders - our rear license plates are tucked in pretty deep under the rear trunk on the RSVs... Can the 407 Toll cameras catch the plate or is the angle too steep? (crosses fingers and awaits response!) Thanks!

Hey Guys, A question for the Canadians out there - Other than the Yamaha dealer, where do get your parts and supplies from? I'm thinking things like oil, filters. plugs etc - can they be found at auto places like PartSource or Canadian Tire? For actual Yamaha parts - is there a CDN online source that is cheaper than the dealer? (Or a USA online source with inexpensive shipping) Many Thanks! -Peter- Georgetown Ontario

I just ordered these - double duty bike-wear and dog hikes. Waterproof - These were $180, on clearance for $59 CDN. http://www.marks.com/shop/en/marks-marksdefaultsalescatalog/mens/hikers/para-boot-29821 Only sized 10, 11, 12 left tho!

Where are these haunted caves? How far from the Rainbow Bridge would we be talkin?

Save some $$$$$ $6200 - with owner history available!!! 1.5 Hours from your home! http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=79994 and.... Chicks dig the Millennium!!!!

My bike is actually a 2000, not a 2003 (I have the MM paint scheme to prove it!! :-) ) Here are shots of my exhaust. Upon closer inspection this must have been a modification by a previous owner - the holes are not at all symmetrical - in fact they are all over the place!! (one of those Drunk mods?). What i don't understand is that these holes are somehow punched - not drilled. They are not round. Having said all that - the carb sync certainly seems to have addressed the exhaust popping and backfiring - the the exhaust doesn't seem to be problematic - just Interesting!! Any ideas?

Met up with Don and Nancy tonight to talk bikes and get my carbs synced. What a fantastic experience - great couple, and thanks to this great forum that linked us!! The carb sync was fast and easy, and showed immediately that one cylinder on the right was way out of sync, running much richer than the others. Don made a few adjustments, and I am very happy to report that the backfiring and exhaust popping was almost completely gone on the ride home. Again - Thanks Don - a very enjoyable evening!!! -Peter-

I do indeed have a small rubber cased switch to turn of my passing lamps, located beside the power outlet in the fairing. Well I'll be damned - it works too !!! How cool is this forum!?!?!?!?!?!

How does the seat come off? I have found the 10mm nut on the right side - left side is different - what is the tool? (I didn't actually crawl under to look yet). Two bolts and it pops off? There's really a switch for the passing lamps!?!?!??

Go here - it will give you the exact replacement cast. If you add the year to the search you can get down to specific colours. http://stores.ebay.ca/PinWall-Cycle-Parts-Inc/_i.html?_nkw=Royal+Star+Venture&submit=Search&_sid=12458664 Good Luck.

When checking on Pinwall, do not put in a year. These bikes are all the same from 99 to 2013 - you should be able to find most of what you are looking for.

This is incredible. I don't think I could WALK this course without knocking down at least 3 pylons.... [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQkGb2lrs_A]Police Motorcycle Challenge - YouTube[/ame] No point in ever running from this guy!

Uh... I'm 6'3".... my driveway runs downhill... and I STILL wouldn't want to push this monster!!! She's HUGE!!!!!

Dumb Owner it was! After a day on the trickle charger it fired up fast and willingly, and no further issues over the weekend. Thanks for the feedback!
